Overview:
Write an essay that takes a specific, nuanced position responding to the class’s closed research theme question which is “How can we regulate cyberspace or should we even try?”
Use arguments to convince readers of that position, using evidence found in the closed research theme readings and independent library research. (My position is that we should regulate ourselves.)
Objective:
To develop your own distinct position in response to the class’s closed research theme question; to write an essay in which you present a thesis, frame your position in contrast to others’ views, and use argumentation and other rhetorical strategies to support your thesis.
Medium:
An academic essay, Minimum 1250 words; formatted and cited according to APA style.
For this project, you will respond to your class’s closed research theme question, offering arguments in favor of your view that are supported by evidence from the closed research theme reading, background readings, and the independent library research you conduct.
